Nambe, I love you

When we got engaged, I picked out candlesticks that I just loved. I got 2 tall ones (14") and 4 shorter ones (9", pictured), and it kicked off an obsession with the designs put out by Nambe.

So imagine my delight when I found that they have a whole line of Judaica!

They have menorahs and a dreidel, too. Beautiful.

It's been busy!

3 kids, 3 college classes. A lot to juggle.

Doing school online means that it's all reading and writing, then reading and writing some more. In a way, it's far more intensive than regular college, and it takes a lot more discipline. There's no roommate headed to class, there's no study group down the hall, there's no teacher standing there twice a week in front of you. Instead, there's a group of boisterous children and one amazing husband who is willing to shoulder dinner-, bath-, and bedtime by himself so that I can work. And that can entail a few hours of cajoling the littlest one who is teething and cranky at times.

School is going well so far. We're 2 weeks in, the teachers seem to like what I have to say, and there is a blessed end in sight. I'm enjoying the course work, and am lucky enough to have friends willing to help me edit when I can't seem to find the headspace to do it.

Dudes - it takes a village, but Dani is going to graduate : )
